If you exceed it you have to pay taxes and customs duty - shopping would be Easier, and cheaper and could boost the US economy. For example:A Samsung flat tv is at $1799 (1407,08€) - and the same here in DE: 1799 € ($2300,07) wtf? With A Free Trade Agreement it would be round about 400 € cheaper.For the car lovers: Buying European cars like BMW, VW or Mercedes would be cheaper too So, what do you think? Awards

We signed up to a Common Market - the EEC - and before we knew it we had handed over our sovereignty to anonymous Eurocrats in Brussels! Take it from a distant descendant of redcoats - those darned colonists won't give a centimetre without a fight! (I admire them for that!!!)

On vie dans une société qui posséde des droits de l homme et qui achéte tout en chine . Meme l argent viens de là puisque c est la chine qui prete aux américain et aux européen pour que ces dernier exploite un peut plus les pauvre chinois . je le dit : MERDE c est quand que les politique aurront des couilles ? Y en as marre de voir des gens qui exploite la misère . Acheté chinois : pourquoi pas , mais quand le peuple chinois aurra un niveau de vie équivalent aux européen et aux américain . Y en as ras le bol de voir qu on exploite encore a notre époque la misère humaine . Si je pouvais j irai tapé du poing sur la table a leurs rénuion du G8 ou duG20 . Pour dire merde il y a des droits de l homme et les échanges de bien et marchandise ne peuvent ce faire que sous réserve de ces droits soit respecter ........ Le libre échange est je pense une bonne idée aussi dans le but d acheté un peut moins chinois . J aime la chine et son peuple et je le respecte , mais je ne peut pas accepté qu un gouvernement dicte un droit de vivre et de travail . C est toujours l argent qui pourri et pollue la planéte c est quand que tous les etre humains aurront tous et toutes les meme droits? Sonovabich 1 Awards

Another one: Levi's 901: 90€ ($117) in Germany and could be round about 40€ ($52) What me really pisses of is that they only change the currency symbol for many goods. The TV was one example.

It's bogus, ill managed and creates an unfavorable competitive market for the US. I wish it could be revoked. Unless the countries are somewhat economically equal the country with the better living standard comes out a loser.........big time. Cpt.TennealXI 1
